In retrospect maybe this book isn't worth four stars. Stories that at the time of his death hadn't been collected in books yet, along with some essays about writing and literature. Yet another review for a book I read at some indeterminate number of years ago that I remember very little about. In lieu of a real review, here is a piece I'd like to call: What I Thought about When I Thought about Raymond Carver Today. Thinking about what to write today I was thinking about how some writers have careers that seem to stretch for decades. Like when you think of Philip Roth, there are Philip Roth's for the 60's through the current time. All different Philip Roth's. Sort of like John Updike too. Other writers seem to embody just one small sliver of time. Like Tom Robbins, he can keep writing novels till he's 189 years old, but most likely it will still seem like he's stuck sometime in the post-1960's to very early 1980's. He'll never wash ex-hippie from him. Raymond Carver seems to embody such a small sliver of time, like very early 1980's and he might be dead by that point, or maybe not. I have no idea how long he was really in the spotlight for, or when he died, and I'm not looking it up, because it's beside the point, he's there for like a moment, sort of like in music Nirvana to me, they aren't timeless they are a brief flicker of early 1990's that are then gone, and Carver is sort of the same way, but for about 10 or 15 years earlier, of course I know what I'm talking about, at least subjectively for Nirvana, and I'm talking out my ass about Raymond Carver, but anyway; that's what I've been thinking about when I've been thinking about Raymond Carver for the past day or two (ohhhhhhhh Henry twist!!! I said today in the title, but it's actually been for the past two days!!!!!).

Couldn't get on with this book at all. Unusual for me, but I gave up half way through. Glad of the glossary to make it more understandable, but there are too many other books I want to read.

This is a really funny clever book, written by a biologist, and what he does is use the mating habits of all these different species of animals to reflect on the ridiculousness, the tragedy, the beauty, and the futility of the human animal's mating games. Viskovitz, in the various interconnected stories in this book, is at times a shark, a rat, a lion, a praying mantis, a pig, an ant, a bee...and his fumblings in all these forms to find love-and-sex, sex-and-love, are both hilarious and tragic. It's a really terrific, creative book, guaranteed to both delight and horrify. Watch out for self-impregnating, hermaphroditic snails!

I felt like most of Rubin's ideas to gain more happiness were pretty obvious and presented a little too enthusiastically at times but I'm glad I stuck with it. It really grew on me by the end. Most importantly it got me thinking about the changes I could make in my own life and I suppose that's the whole point.

Amazing early history of midwestern US and in depth look at life of two very real heroes - Tecumseh and Simon Kenton and how their lives intertwined. Some interesting info on their contemporaries - Daniel Boone, Andrew Jackson. I've read this book about 4 times since 1974. The footnotes are very extensive as are the descriptions of the geography and locations of the action vs. current cities. The book looks daunting from it's size but it is an amazingly quick read.

Second story about very logical Emma-Jean who thinks scientifically but does not always understand her observations of her fellow 7th graders. Terrific voice!

McKiernan is like a more accessible Tolkien.

I honestly loved this book. So much. I even think the movie did a decent job of telling the story.
